When I was young, I always tell myself to respect people no matter what that person does for his/her living. And I also tell myself that never ever judge a person by his/her looks.

As for my job, sometime I need to get down to production line to settle those issue faced by production. To cut the story short, after some period of working in the same line, I got to know this girl. She’s one of the operator of the line. She’s in her early 20s, quite pretty looking and she’s from Vietnam. As she knows how to converse in BM, I started to chat with her while monitoring the line. I asked about where she stays in Malaysia. She told me she’s is staying in an apartment with other operators. Very normal conversation and suddenly I ask her about her family background. Asking what is her parents doing for the living back in Vietnam. And I got a shock hearing her answer. I was expecting some low income profession what force her to come here to work and send money back but it’s not.

Apparently, her dad is a doctor and her mum is the state library’s head librarian. And she herself used to work in her dad’s clinic. I proceed to ask her why she still comes to Malaysia and work as operator since she’s able to live such comfortable life back home. She said she had a huge argument with her dad where she secretly give the patients expensive medicine because she felt pity for them. And her dad found out and they had argument. Within 2 weeks, she arrived in Malaysia.

Seriously, I got a shock and I kinda admire her for her courage to come so far from her home to work but in a meantime, I feel she is very stupid and silly of doing that. How contradict my thinking is but seriously, when you see a foreigner walking on the street, never ever assume that they’re from low class family. Because they might have some interesting story behind them.

One thing I notice about Nuffnang is that your blog need to have a lot of local traffics.

Local traffic means traffic comes from Malaysia.

Why you might ask. Because Nuffnang is a local company and all their advertisements are local targeted.

Do you think those visitors from Zimbabwe will click on the advertisement that promote Digi or Taylor’s Colleague? They will but chances is very low, lo.

So don’t be happy yet if you got a lot of unique visitors but majority are from outside Malaysia.

I have only 37.5% out of 100% traffics from Malaysia this week.

Pretty low but I’ll work hard for it.

Hippocreep.com/blog is a local blog and have no intention to go international.

So support support a bit, la!

Well,that is one thing I notice about Nuffnang. Correct me if I’m wrong.

My friend called me this evening

She :”Hey, let me tell you something. It makes me damn pissed!!”

Me :”Woohh, what happened?”

She :”You see, I was rushing to my facial session and when I was looking for a parking lot, I saw a car double park the place.”

Me :”Okay, then you go look for other parking lot, lah“

She :” No no, you know what? It was a BMW and a guy is sitting inside that car and what pissed me off was when I honked him and put the signal light telling him I wanted to park, he just made that he didn’t see me and continue sitting in the car doing nothing!!!”

Well, after I heard she said that, it instantly pissed me off. I don’t know, maybe but I have this thinking of those who drives a luxury car such as BMW or Merc or Audi or those worth more than rm200k, are very cocky and very inconsiderate. So what you’re driving a big car but act like an idiot on the road? My friend already honked and signal light to indicate she wanted to park, you still sit in the car doing nothing?

Maybe by driving big car, people will scare of you. Maybe by driving big car, police will scare of you. Maybe by driving big car, you ‘ll have immunity on the road. Maybe, I don’t know.

And, do you realize that those who drive big car are very stingy people? You can see from those commercial places, they will park their car beside the road side but not the proper parking lot. It’s just rm1 or rm2 only for the parking fee. Why risk of getting a traffic summon or get clamped by the city council?

Maybe to them, traffic summon is cheaper than the parking fee

That makes me thinking.

There are already too many idiot on the road already, please don’t increase the number.

Still don’t understand what is idiot on the road?

This.

Pissed off or not I ask you?

*Shakes head*

Some I wish I can be like the hero in this video clip. Whack the hell out of those people. Geram!

Or this

Ha Ha.

Have a night sleep peeps. Happy Friday!

Do you know what is Competitive Blogging means?

See the pictures below

Can you see? In the span of less than 1 hour. How many pings in Innit showing the same topic?

All were about Spain winning their 1st FIFA World Cup title.

And imagine when a person , like me, open Nuffnang Innit and see almost a full page of posts with same topic. You think I’ll click on each and every one?

Nope. I believe you will not do so.

From there, I can conclude that everyone is trying very hard to get good topic to attract traffic. But like the case above, how much traffic you think you’ll get? All the traffics will be divided among those with the same topic.

I admit. I admit that thinking about a new topic that able to attract reader is hard.Sometime you’ll have a lot of new topics. Sometime you can get out of ideas and don’t know what to write. I do end up with the situation like this, always.

There was once, I thought I was fast enough to finish a post and ping in Nuffnang Innit because the news was fresh from oven barely an hour and I hope be able to attract traffic. But right after I finished my post and ping in Nuffnang Innit, damn it, there was a post with same topic pinged 2 minutes earlier than me. I guess to be ahead of everyone in this internet blogging, especially you’re going to blog about general topics where people is interested it, 1 hour is too long. If you can do it in less than 10 minutes after the news come out, then it’ll mean something.

By the way, the post that I mentioned up is Paul’s prediction for Germany and Spain. Paul’s prediction, another hot topic. Once the news come out, a lot of people will blog about it and even until a day later, people will still blog about it.

I’m not trying to pour cold water on anyone but do you think you’ll get concentrated traffic by posting something which is a day late in internet? I don’t think so. You will get traffic but not a lot. I know, trust me. I’ve done that.

So either you can make sure that yourself is ahead of everyone, do it. If you’re like a day late and or maybe half day late, I suggest it’s good for you to think a new topic to write.

I remember when I started blogging since October 2004, blogging wasn’t that competitive as now.

But now,

I can see people post up the cheque they got from blogging

I can see people resigned from their daily 9 to 5 job and become a full time blogger.

I believe Nuffnang gets a lot of new registration everyday.

It’s hard to see a blog without advertisement.

By seeing this trend, I can say that blogging today indeed is a serious business.

Serious business is blogging.

p/s: I hope this is a new topic. I used 2 days to think, leh.he he

Well well well…in another 6 hours, whole world will be watching FIFA World Cup 2010 Final between Holland and Spain. Both countries never win any World Cup title before and after today, either one of the team will have a star printed on their jersey for next season

But who will win?

Of course by Paul, the famous octopus oracle chooses Spain.

But in Singapore, we have Mani, the Parakeet and he is the new bird oracle and he chooses Holland

Bird or Octopus? Mani or Paul?

I’ll go with Paul this time. Because his track record is good in this World Cup.

100% accurate

And as for Mani

So far Mani got one wrong.

So by looking at the record,

Tonight I’ll be shouting VIVA ESPANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry Mani, I’ll have my money on Paul this time

Wooot!! Which country you’ll be shouting for tonight??

P/s: Fucking P1 WiMAX, line down since Friday. Fucked up my mood for the weekend

That bloody Paul chooses Spain over Germany.

Good Job Paul. I have faith in you. After you successfully predicted Argentina vs Germany match, I’m keen to see whether you will be right this time. Everyone is talking about Germany will win the World Cup this year after seeing their performance against Argentina and also England.

So I believe a lot of people will bet on Spain already. Even though technically, I feel Spain doesn’t have much chance to win over Germany but Paul chooses Spain. So we shall see.

It’s either Paul will becomes this

Good job Germany.

I want to see her running naked through the street.

With Argentina got knocked out from this tournament. No harm for me to support Paraguay,right? At least got some motivation.

Music is an element that shape my daily life. A day without music is like a day without oxygen for me. Yea, music is that important to me.

But there are few songs that really inspire me. Songs that lift me up when I’m at the lowest point of my life.

1st : Nelly – N Dey Say

Lyrics:
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
let’s go (ha-haha-ha-ha)
ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh

hold up, stop now, let me get a look ‘cha
damn girl i aint seen u since prom
come to think about it cant believe it’s been that long
i heard your man locked down now
how long he gone? oh, dat long
how the hell he get time like that
3 strikes for possesion aww he ain’t coming back
he left you with two kids and bills all around
plus you found out he had another chick cross town
it’s always the darkest right before the sun rises
and you gotta stay strong for the kids in they eyes’n
please dont despise and go against all brothers
and have a hatred in your heart and take it out on
another

i hate to sound 2pac-ish li’l mama keep your head up
but your gonna make it i promise you keep your head up
and that that dont kill you only makes you stronger
and the will to succeed only feed the hunger
fo’ reel (fo’ reel, fo’ reel)

(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh

i was at the gas station when a man walked past
with a sign…’will work for food, clothes or cash’
and he asked if he could pump my gas so i let him
clean the windsheild and throw out the trash so i let
him
hey, i even asked a brother his name
where he was from, got kids man and what’s they ages
he kinda stared for a second, he kinda looked suprised
that anyone would even take an interest in his life
he said, young brother them the only words i’ve heard
in the last year
wasn’t no or get the fuck away from herrrr
how could something so simple as general conversation
mean much more than general conversation
hey you could tell life had beaten him down
like he was in the title fight and this might be his
last round
sometimes the easiest things we take for granted
until they gone then realized we even had it
fo’ real (fo’ real, fo’ real)

(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
yeah, hey ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
yeah, hey ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh

i used to think that life had a plan for me
until i realized life had to be planned by me
see that’s the key i only deal wit what i can see
cuz over history, mystery brought us nothin but misery
man more people done died in the name of the Lord
then in any natural disaster, disease or gang wars
before guns they was swords and they was killin each
other
Nothin’s changed to this day still killin each other
killin a brother while another mother cries for help
man, we need to help a brother find himself
feed ‘em light 1, 2, 3
hey! that’s somethin every brother should see

and thats fo’ real,
and thats fo’ real,
and thats fo’ real

(ha-haha-ha-ha)
yeah, hey, ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)
hey ohhhhh N Dey Say ohhhhhh oh ohhhh
(ha-haha-ha-ha)

2nd: Last Emperor – Do You Remember

Lyrics:
At times, I feel old like I’m going out of style
So I turn down the music on my FM dial
I beg of you to come and listen for a while
And look at this wonderful world through the eyes of a child
This is my chance to escape today
And I don’t want to see my dreams chased away
Inside the palace gates is where I stay
‘Cause the world is no longer a safe place to play
Its like the story of the little wooden boy
Who wanted to live the life that every child should enjoy
I heard it once of twice before
The world is yours for you to explore
I heard my calling as a child and I answered it
When I grow up and finally get my chance to fit
I’ll be the sort of man you can’t forget
I used to stair up at the sky on my camping trips
In this quiet night of quiet stars
Of quiet chords on my guitar
Kids out there, I know it might be hard
But I realize how alive you are

CHORUS
One day I’ll travel from the East to the West
And tap into the hidden strength that all men possess
I’ll always be young, see a young mind is fresh
And its clear my memories will one day disappear unless
Do you remember?
Yes I remember
Do you remember?

Some say the price of life has a costly amount
When it comes to fights, I might’ve lost me a bout
But I’ve never lost my head ’cause that would cost me a scalp
So when my heart became cold like the Austrian Alps
I used to use my aggression, just to hurt mics
In ’86 my whole crew was in to dirt bikes
Like the GT Predator or a Mongoose
Listen as I ride the rhythm and let the rhymes loose
This is what makes my life so real
I’ll take my chances and spin the wheel
I can’t wait to grow up so I’ll know the deal
But right now I’m a child and this is how I feel
My younger days were sort of tragic despite
I learned to unify the pen and pad with the mic
I might need a little magic tonight
‘Cause to me imagination is the fabric of life
My rhymes helped me many times grow’n up
Before keep’n it real, all the days are blow’n up
I put on shows in my room- nobody show’n up
I’m just a little guy now, but when I’m old enough

CHORUS

That was my train of thought

I notice that nowadays, there are too many love songs. Songs that send the wrong message to listener. Songs that show how life is perfect. How love is perfect. But there are too little songs that actually talk about life.

Maybe people enjoy listening to things that perfect. I don’t know but I think enough for this post. Just trying to share with you guys the 2 songs that inspire me:).

Enjoy the songs

So what song for you?

On different note, less that 10 minutes, Germany vs Argentina Quarter Final match will be started. Who you support? I’m going to go oppose with Paul, the Octopus Oracle.

Argentina!!!!

J

Paul, the oracle octopus that become famous after successfully predicted Germany’s 2010 World Cup result.

Paul predicted all Germany’s matches correctly.

So this coming Saturday will be Germany vs Argentina in quarter final round.

And guess which country Paul predicted to win?

Germany.

See the Youtube below.

“German football fans have another reason to hope ahead of their team’s World Cup quarter-final showdown with Argentina as Paul the octopus has tipped Germany to win. “

I don’t know accurate Paul’s prediction is or how far Paul will be right about it’s prediction

But one thing I know for sure,

IF PAUL IS WRONG ABOUT THIS COMING SATURDAY AND GERMANY LOSE TO ARGENTINA

You know what Germans will do to Paul?

THIS

Everyone is talking about the referee that disallowed Frank Lampard a.k.a “Lan Pa” goal which was clearly cross the line for about 2 feet.

Everyone says that the referee is blind, the linesman is blind.

But have you ever wonder that the referee and the linesman is out of position that time?

Let’s have a look again, shall we?

See clearly, where were the referee and linesman at that time?

They were way way away from the good position.

Do you know that, when 2 objects are far from your sight but close to each other, you tend to see that both objects are at the same distance from you?

If not why in other sports like badminton and tennis, those linesman never call the ball in or out at the opposite side?

So cut the referee and the linesman some slack, will you? Suck it up like a real man. Don’t blame the referee or linesman.

You know who should get the blame?

Sepp Blatter. The president of FIFA.

Why?

Because he knows and everyone knows that this has been a problem. Referee and linesman unable to keep up to the speed of the game play especially in counter-attack and Blatter’s FIFA reject goal line technology.

Read here

After the Frank Lampard’s disallowed goal during the Germany vs England match, he only willing to reconsider the technology.

Read here

I mean, why need to wait this stage only consider?

Damn stupid right?

Obviously I don’t blame the referee or linesman because if they really see it clearly, either one of them will call it a goal, I believe.

You know what FIFA should implement?

Hawk eye like in tennis tournament.

Where each tennis player has certain about of challenge to make if they feel that the linesman is wrong.

Football should have that too. Each team will have 1 challenge each in one half time.

So if the one team request for the challenge, everyone will look into the big screen at the stadium and referee will make the call for it.

Because there are some loopholes in current refereeing.

See how 2 linesmen run and also referee’s?

And can you see the 2 blue circles? That is the area where is far from linesman sight and also the referee’s

That is why Henry handball against Ireland happened in that area.

It’s a loop hole.

But why can’t FIFA see that loop hole and try improve the quality of the game?

Well, that’s all I want to say in this post. You might not be agreeing on what I’ve said in this post but this is what I think
